: That show seems like the definition of child abuse by omission.

The news stories before the show began to get broadcast were appalling.
Most specifically,CBS acquired the rights to the kids' life stories,
"in perpetuity and throughout the universe" (contract quote).

So whatever the children do for the rest of their lives,
CBS owns rights to it.
